LANDSCRAPERS

Sinopsis del producto

Buildings replace the land. That is architecture´s original sin. A building makes something new, but does not do so in avoid. What was once open land, filled with sunlight and air,with a distinct relationship to the horizon, becomes a building. The artifices of humans supersede what nature has deposited on a given place. The bulk of a building stops air, sunlight and views. The memories that we built up around that particular place, either individually or as a culture, also disappear. In their place is a structure that is new, if only for a moment, and that aspires to have a perfect form, function and appearance. Some buildings even hope to move as far away as possible from the land on which they rise. In all cases, a building is one thing above all else: not the land.
